Updates and Nuts ‘n Bolts

G.E. Transformation November 30, 2017 – Individual courses must be submitted to College Curriculum Committees January 31, 2018 – Pathways must be submitted to College Curriculum Committees Summer 2017 Professional Development Institute to design thematic pathways Institute on developing & supporting assignments for writing intensive courses Fall 2017 – workshops on the GLOs, the designations, and the first-year seminar

Q2S & GI 2025: Better Together

Key Components of GI 2025 Progressive Pedagogy/Enhanced Instruction – support faculty in studying and implementing equity-minded, evidence-based teaching practices to increase student success Advising – implement cross-divisional Student Success Team (SST) model that includes faculty academic advisors, professional advisors, career services counselors, and associate deans.

Q2S Support for Enhanced Instruction in Semester Courses Up to $1500 will be available to each faculty member, both full- and part-time (with at least a one-year appointment), for participating in professional development opportunities that will contribute to enhanced pedagogy in semester courses. Professional Development that would be automatically approved: TRC/ATI/Q2S workshops, institutes, etc. Conferences/workshops/institutes on teaching, learning, and assessment (similar to TSSA requirements) Bringing an outside expert to work with a program/department Faculty can apply for funds as a group or individually

Q2S Advising Needs Identify quarter completers and semester completers; Make sure students create plans to graduate on time (quarter completers) and without loss of progress (semester completers); Make sure courses are offered in ways that allow students to follow their plans; and Develop and implement a strategy for advising, that utilizes the student success team model with clearly defined roles, priorities, and outcomes

Campus Conversation on Advising This was the first step in an effort to figure out how teams of faculty and professional advisors can work together coherently and efficiently. The responses generated at this conversation will provide the starting point for developing the outcomes and priorities for advising that meet the needs of both Q2S and GI 2025. Major take-aways: We need better mechanisms for communication among advisors with all types of roles We need to clarify our various roles We need more “cross-training” opportunities

Q2S Support for Advising Summer 2017 Institute and year-long project funded by Title III grant for CNS faculty and advisors to study, develop, and pilot some models for teams to work together. Disseminate their findings and support other colleges to develop and implement their own plans

Advising Plans: Some Questions to Consider How will you identify your quarter completers and your semester completers? How will you assist, encourage (and even require!) each group to use the Coyote Planner to plan their path to graduation (for GE and the major)? How will you encourage (even require!) them to seek advising? How are you going to partner with the professional advisors in your College and/or Undergraduate Studies to accomplish your advising goals? What are your ultimate goals for each group of students? How will you help them stay on track/follow their plans? Who is responsible for what? Role & responsibilities of faculty advisors? Role & responsibilities for professional advisors? What are your priorities, timelines, and milestones for each group of students?
